Now what would he do?  He had no leads and since the prey now had knowledge of his pursuit, they would flee someplace far away and everything would have to start over.  He didn’t know if he had that much time left in his life, it would take years to reestablish his work that was done here.

His desk phone was beeping now from where it had fallen on the floor during his tantrum.  It was the tone that played when a phone was left off the hook for too long with no one on the other line.  He reached down and sat the receiver on the button to silence it.  It startled him when it rang just as he was taking his hand away.

Not really wanting to talk to anyone until he calmed down he considered just ignoring it, but decided it would be best to just answer it and take out his rage on whoever dared call him right now.  He picked it up.

“Gold,” he said, and waited.

“Mr. Gold, this is Office Dayton in the lobby, we have someone here and I think you need to meet her,” came the reply.  Sebastian sneered and got ready to berate the man for bothering him with nonsense.

“And why, you worthless piece of trash, do you think I’d want to talk to some woman?”  There was a long silence before he got his answer.

“Um, I’m sorry sir, but because she used to work here and she says she just escaped from the people we have been looking for.  She says she knows where they are and can take us to them.”

Sebastian Gold smiled.  The receptionist that he had assumed was dead must have been a little more resilient than he imagined.  If she had been their captive, she might know their secrets, and he had to find out everything she had gleaned.  He would torture her if she wouldn’t take a bribe for the information.

“Bring her to me immediately, don’t take your eyes off her a second.  If she isn’t in my office in five minutes, I’ll kill you.”  He said it so matter of fact that there was no question that he was bluffing.  Without waiting for a response he hung up his phone and stared at the door.  When it opened he would finally have a real advantage agaisnt the monsters that he would soon rule.

Bride for the Demon Horde
by Amie Heights!

When Jenna Malcone left for work on a normal day she had no idea how her life was going to change.  Taken by the wicked minister Solomon she finds herself in the middle of a profane wedding to free a demon horde from the abyss, with her as the bride!  Jenna's body might not be able to consummate the unholy union but the swarm of monstrous demons will try like Hell to make her theirs forever.

Excerpt

The dark naked bodies rose from the shadows.  Jenna was too terrified to scream, unable to run, and could only watch in horror as she saw the forms of the demons take shape before her.  Unnoticed, her bouquet fell from her trembling hands to land on the floor at her feet.  Jenna turned back to the minister and saw that he had a perverse grin spreading wide on his face.  His blasphemous ceremony had worked, and the demon horde was becoming incarnate to take their bride.
She had agreed to this, she had said the words “I do” but now everything was becoming too real.
The figures were dark skinned and shaped like hulking human men for the most part.  Their muscles rippled in a grotesque parody of natural life and from their pores a dark smoke emanated to dissipate in the cathedral.  Jenna realized she could smell the soot from where she stood, a heady pollution with the scent of brimstone and fire.  She saw that there were at least twenty of the monsters coming for her, their eyes glowing pale yellow, greedy for her flesh.
Suddenly Jenna found that the fear had flipped a switch inside her and she regained control of herself enough to run.  Spinning as fast as she could she turned to flee, her wedding dress billowing out behind her.  Before she had taken two steps her feet caught and she tumbled to the stone floor of the cathedral.  Glancing over her shoulder she saw the creatures were nearly to her already, their arms reaching for her where she had fell.  
This nightmare was just starting, Jenna knew that her wedding with these demons would be consummated right now.
